I was alone, I didn't know what would I do Maybe sing, maybe shave, maybe think things through Or hide behind drink or sleeping So I dreamt I was alone in a crowded place And I wanted to speak But I could not say 'Cos Jackie's still sad about it And I'm the everyman I do my best to understand Oh it's a shame about you And though it happened long ago Don't forget what made me so mean and cruel It's a shame about you I'm alone and cold outside the gate Let me warm up for heaven's sake Don't show me no blind indifference The sound in my ears The breath in my nose Who wants to help? Ah nobody does And Jackie's still sad about it And I'm the everyman I do my best to understand Oh it's a shame about you, Though it happened long ago Please don't forget what made me so mean and cruel It's a shame about you Ah ah ah ah ah Jackie's still sad about it Jackie's still sad about it Repeat until the deed is done
